In reply to Not well. Huge week ahead., posted by pegasus on May 22, 2004, at 17:29:36
I got fever blisters and sick throughout nursing school. We had to do presentations all the time. I have to tell you I never got comfortable with them. (I bet you got the cold, because of the stress.)
I will tell you what I was told about speeches and presentations. People tend to listen to the 1st and last thing you say. All that stuff in between they don't focus as much. Attention span is short due to television. People in general are way more focused on themselves than what you are saying. They are thinking about their own lives and issue while you are chatting away.
I found out this was true, because I was doing this while the others were giving presentations. Personally, I was always thinking about going home eating chocolate and taking a nap.
I hope all goes well for you and do drink plenty of fluids and get your rest.
